Corbis Images, the photo agency owned by Bill Gates’ Corbis Group, is to be sold to Chinese new media company, Visual China Group.

Unity Glory, a subsidiary of Shenzhen-listed Visual China, will own and manage the images and motion archives, names and trademarks associated with the Corbis Images, Corbis Motion and Veer licensing brands.

Other Corbis businesses, notably the Corbis Entertainment and Branded Entertainment Network, were not part of the sale. They will be rebranded in the coming months and focus on entertainment advertising.

Deal terms were not disclosed. Corbis was represented by Allen & Company LLC in the sale of Corbis Images.

In a separate, but related, deal Visual China signed a deal with Getty Images, that will enable Getty customers to access the Corbis Images library. Previously, Visual China has partnered with Getty Images for over a decade to market and distribute Getty Images’ content exclusively in China.
